My understanding of this was that PG’s promotional material, including the streams, showcased Huitzil before they figured out that they were missing a decimal somewhere, and prior to release it was changed. The uproar was caused by the difference between what was advertised and what people actually got.

Again, I could be wrong. I wasn’t paying the closest of attention to that season.

Interesting info, looks like the 150% quoted to the CF is simply not true. Last-minute nerf? I’ve asked Gox what the boosts and rider on that dragon were, but it looks like the real damage boost is around 80% of base damage, similar to Avyx and Fomhar.

Edit: Got some numbers from Gox, looks like Prospero’s spell is adding +100% base damage. So a bit more than Avyx/Fomhar, but half of what Aibrean’s chaos adds. Feels more balanced to me than the 150% they announced. But disappointing we have to find out ourselved that the advertised stats are once again not quite correct.

A little lower than that, the dragon already had a high level of boost. My math:

The bold numbers are from the screenshots Gox provided. The base damage was reconstructed from that.
I think one of the % at the top might be slightly off, because 96.43% is a weird number. But it’s a long way short of the expected 150% for sure.

Hey Everyone, I just caught wind of this thread so I can provide some context for the behavior you’re experiencing. At the moment, Scarlet Fever’s 150% damage increase draws its boost value from Prospero’s BASE attack power. The bonus damage doesn’t take into account any runes, research, of dragon rider modifiers that increase Prospero’s attack power.

As an example, if Prospero has 8,000 base attack power, and his dragon rider increases his attack power to 9,000. The post-Scarlet Fever damage will be 20,000, not 22,500.

This damage boost works the same way that damaging spells do their damage based off of the dragon’s base HP, rather than post-modified HP.

That said, I do recognize that the math @Morreion ran matches my own, and this is a weird occurrence. For what it’s worth, I checked the parameters for the spell both on the release version that went live and in several future releases that haven’t gone out yet and they all point to a 150% boost from Scarlet Fever (meaning a 2.5 times multiplier). The parameter is correct ,but there may be another issue that we’re not currently aware of. This definitely deserves an investigation.
